The mystery of Peter who does not remember his past is solved. His family recognized him, however, he still cannot bring them to his memory. The woman who says she’s his mother comes from Albania for DNA testing. “I don’t remember these people,” says Peter through his employer on the Live News show. “Yesterday he cried and said to me “how can I not remember my own people?”. He saw why he was watching the show and he says “is it possible? I have people who love me and I don’t feel any emotion towards them?”. And I explained to him a man who does not remember, cannot have feelings,” said Peter’s employer who cannot remember his identity, despite the fact that a family from Albania has recognized him. In the last few days Peter has been monitored by a psychologist. He normally goes to work and remains in a waiting position as his lawyer pointed out. “I don’t remember” Shocked is Peter after identifying his family, saying he doesn’t remember any of them. “I personally remember absolutely nothing. I have blackouts. I don’t remember faces, situations, absolutely nothing. If they do a DNA test and it’s them, I don’t remember them. I don’t even know them,” he said. “To get well first, because I am not. My everyday life is in a terrible state. I don’t remember anything at all and if the DNA test comes back positive we’ll see what we do.” The Live News show brought to light the touching letters Peter sent to his family. He wrote it after he had come to Greece many years ago from Albania. “I miss you, I never forget you” he wrote, while closing with the signature “Peter. Arthur is sure that Peter is his lost brother he has been searching for for for 21 years. “The first thing I’m going to do is give him a hug and tell him to back off everything you’ve pulled. We will be next door and help you with all our strength,” he said. His mother’s coming for the DNA test. His mother is preparing to come down from Albania for DNA testing that will show if Peter, the man without ID, is her son. Meanwhile her granddaughter is constantly on the phone and tries through Peter’s lawyer to contact him. Communication has not yet been made possible with these people however to state for sure that Peter, or Petrit as they address him, is their relative. “He was my classmate” “The man looking for the identity is called Petrit Saliya. He’s my classmate, he’s from my village. I know his family.” Artan confirms the family’s allegations from Albania by saying that he also recognized Petrit, his old classmate who was one of the first to leave Klisura when they opened the border. Although the first time he attempted to come to Greece, Petrit was arrested by the police as he had no papers, Artan will say that a few days later he tried again. The difficult childhood and bullying he received from the children in the neighborhood made him as he says he wants to cut off all contact with his fellow villagers. “Very good boy. Because there was trouble. And his family was very poor he’s eaten a lot of bulling. We ate bulling too, but Peter did more. He had a hard time getting back,” Petrit’s classmate said. Petrit once arrived Greece cut off all channels of communication with friends and relatives will say. For 20 years Artan had not heard from him until he saw pictures of Peter Koutsukis on Live News and recognized in his face his old classmate. Meanwhile authorities have taken Peter’s fingerprints, which were not found on the missing persons list. At the same time, a DNA sample will be requested and for this purpose Peter’s brother and his relatives will contact the police. He is also expected to give DNA and his mother, who will come from Albania. Authorities speculate that the man tries to renounce some part of his past, while his relatives say that for a long time they were talking to Peter, but then he was negative in communicating, with his relatives afraid of any possible criminal action.
